My biggest concern with future solar panels is that net metering rules for new installs might get substantially less favorable.
(In general, net metering is kind of absurd. The idea that power I draw from the grid whenever is most convenient to me is worth the same amount as power I send to the grid whenever is most convenient to me is very far from correct.)
Sure, that’s a reasonable concern. But energy storage might also get much cheaper, making energy prices less time-variant. At any rate, these are still comparisons between buying panels now and buying panels later.
